"If members of our society were empowered to make their own decisions about the entire of range of products which the FDA has responsibility ... then the whole rationale for the agency would cease to exist. ... To argue that people ought to be able to choose their own risks, that government should not interfere ... is to impose an unrealistic burden on people when they are most vulnerable to manufacturers' assertions. ... Those are precisely the situations in which the legal and ethical justifications for the FDA's existence is greatest."

--David A. Kessler, M.D., FDA Commissioner.
